Crowley and Pivotal sign major LNG contract

Crowley Fuels has signed another multi-year supply contract with Pivotal LNG to support a major pharmaceutical company’s energy needs in Puerto Rico.

The contract, executed through Crowley subsidiary Carib Energy(USA) LLC, calls for Crowley to transport LNG from Pivotal facilities on the mainland to the island manufacturer.

Crowley’s Vice President, LNG Business Development, Greg Buffington said: “We are very pleased to enhance our relationship by continuing to grow our LNG services and volumes with this critical customer in Puerto Rico. Crowley will continue to provide an uninterrupted supply chain of natural gas to the customer’s site, just as we have done since 2014, helping the mutilize a safe, reliable and environmentally friendly fuel for their operations.”

With Crowley’s supply chain solution, LNG is loaded into Crowley’s 10,000-gallon ISO containers at one of Pivotal’s LNG supply sources in the southeastern U.S. These are then transported via truck and loaded onto Crowley vessels in Jacksonville,Fla. Crowley then provides ocean transportation and delivers the LNG to various customers in Puerto Rico.

Vice President of Pivotal LNG,Tim Delay said: “Pivotal and Crowley continue to work together to expand the delivery of LNG to companies in Puerto Rico. Liquefied natural gas is a clean, domestically produced alternative fuel that is being used by multiple industries to reduce emissions and energy costs. This transaction serves as another example that the partnership and the virtual LNG pipeline we have created with Crowley delivers an economic, reliable and environmentally friendly fuel to the island.”

Once operational, Pivotal expects to source LNG volumes from the JAX LNG plant that is being jointly developed with Pivotal’s partner, Northstar Midstream, in Jacksonville. JAX LNG is a new, state-of-the-art liquefied natural gas facility and will be North America’s first coastal LNG facility with marine and truck loading capabilities.The JAX LNG facility is expected to go into operation in 2018.
